Pregnancy Does Funny Things

So, I thought I would share with you what I have discovered about myself and Robbie and being pregnant. Who knew these odd little things would happen? P.S. I love it, I never know what weird little quark is going to show up next!

Lindsay’s funny things

• I was really excited to find out I was pregnant, but when we decided to tell people…I was like a deer in headlights. All I wanted to do was yell out “I’m pregnant!”, but if I told you in person I’m sure you noticed that Robbie had to say it, because I would just sit there and not know how!
• I was actually excited when I got big enough I couldn’t button my pants anymore!
• I’m not nearly as emotional as I thought I might be (which is good), but when I start crying I can’t stop! Just ask Robbie about the night the whole house smelled like barbeque beef!
• I have developed a grunt. It’s as if every time I bend over, turn, climb up into the bed or even lean to put my socks on it takes an incredible amount of effort. It actually takes no more effort than usual, but for some crazy reason I grunt. It is totally out of my control…it just happens. It’s the craziest thing ever.
• I gasp and laugh out loud more than I ever have before when watching movies or TV shows.

Robbie's Funny Things

• Pink has become the word he uses most often. As soon as we found out it was a girl he decided that everything should be pink, because “little girls like pink and we are having a little girl”. So, I picked out some pink bedding that I thought was cute and I showed it to Robbie (noting that I thought he would approve since I went with his color choice) and he actually told me it was not pink enough!
• He has already called me numerous times at work worried because a)our back packing tent is a 2 man tent and there will be 3 of us, what are we going to do? We need a new tent! b)the baby is due in May and he has decided to plan a back packing trip for June (seems ambitious to me) and we need to find a way to pack in the baby and the camping stuff and the climbing gear c)he just found the coolest carrier that we should buy to hike with the baby d)he just found the “cutest pink (anything you can imagine)” and e)how are you feeling? (even thought I haven’t been sick at all…don’t I have the nicest husband ever?).
• He likes to give me advice: “I think you should start sleeping on your side now”, “are you sure it’s ok if you eat that?”, “maybe you should sit down for a while”, “I think you should eat something”, “you should drink more water” and this one is my favorite “you’re going to put her in pink for that, right?”.
